lol @ people getting sad/mad over some dude that died that has no effect on their life what so ever...
RIP or w/e yall dudes need to calm down...people die everyday...
and its funny all these black people coming to rescue for MJ...if it was Garth brooks or some white dude who died...you bet their would be GIFS...fail pictures..and jokes all over the place...couple of dudes make a joke..and its all about morals and ethics now...
****
Seriously, what does race have to do with anything? Michael Jackson was felt by people across the globe. Most of us can say that we remember listening to MJ's songs, watching his videos, and trying to copy his dance moves growing up.
How did MJ affect ppl as children? I watched Moonwalker & The Jacksons: An American Dream a million times as a kid. I used to dance to his videos as entertainment when I was bored....I still blast songs like "P.Y.T." and "Bad" and I still do the choreography to beat it (quite well)
If it was Garth Brooks there would be mourning. But Garth Brooks has not done the things MJ did. He's one of few artsists who connects (present tense because he always will) generations, races, and continents....sure we made the jokes and what not....but that never stopped people from loving his music and service to the world...and that's the person you say has no effect on people's lives what so ever?
Dude you get this
RIP MJ...you will always be the prototype
but they didnt have an affect on my life...them dying wont make me any different...or feel any different...
I don't see where you described MJ passing having a profound AFFECT on you...he was entertaining. he was cool..u tried to dress like him w/e...how did knowing him change you personally...not physically and what you did...
I don't see it...if MJ made you turn into a dancer or singer...then i can understand...but because you looked up to him and tried his dance moves...your crying now cuz hes dead?
maybe im missing something..
Dude, is it even that serious? People feel the way they feel about Michael Jackson, and that's that. Is it really worth the energy of trying to figure outwhy they feel a certain way? Just let them grieve/mourn, or whatever. I don't know why their feelings need justification, just let them be.
